Hardy Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 For anti spyware Adaware from Lavasoft is very good too. The personal edition is free as well. For anti-virus AVG as well as being free has recently beaten some of the better known brands in tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmboy Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Kaspersky Internet security 6 - I've got it on XP and two versions of vista. I've not had any virus since first installing it last year. Works on x64 version with no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Whats wrong with norton then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmboy Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Whats wrong with norton then? I don't like norton. Its missed viruses that kaspersky picked up after I installed it. I got a laptop with it preinstalled a while back. I can't remember specifics, but it caused various nework connection problems and slowed the system down.

Cranfield Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The biggest problem with Norton is the CPU it uses, it can bring your PC almost to a halt. Its the reason I got rid of it about 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
